In order that the derive ma he convenientl .ittlll't'tl to the hair or elothing of :t wearer. a U-Hll2tl)ttl fastening pin l3 is protitled \\'l|l('lt is pirotull) su 'iported by a pair oi ears 1) preterahtv l'ornied integral with the hod portion 11 and projeeting from the oppmite side thereof from the elaspingz; ling-em. Lot-atoll adjaeent the end of the hotly portion opposite to the ears I) are two hoolw e. \\'ltlt'll are also preferably formed integral with the body portion. The free end of the pin l3 are adapted to he reniovahly engaged with the hooks I after the pin has, hut-n in erted through the desired wnpport therefor.

When a rihhon is to he supported by my improved derive. it is lit'st tied into a how of the desired six and sltttpt after wliieh the knot of the, how is pressed het ween the ends of the (limping lingers into the space formed o the lingers and lH)(l portion ,of the de- \ltt. The deviee with the how may then. he readily attaehed hy meam of the pin It.

The material of whieh the deviee formed is irel'eralily ot' snllieient resiliency to permit the lingers to he delleeted stillir-it-ntly to permit the insertion and ,removal oi" the sn 'iported article.

From the foregoing description it will be ohs -r\'ed. that l have invented an improved device whit-h will permit the convenient. attachment ot a how or an'article 0f ornal1ttS!- tl!"\' to tie and nntie the how each time it is used.
